The Delightful LIQUID Laxative.

Curtis says in addition to all this that
though we of the United States have
little to do with the Argentine Repub-

this. In 1926 William Wheelwright of
Pennsylvania was wrecked on the
Argentine coast and made MS way to
small town hatless, bootless and starv-
ing. Forty years later he constructed
the first railway in South America from
Quilmar to Buenos .Ayres. He also
built the first railroad in Chilli and is
the founder of the Pacific steam naviga-
ton Company. Chill and the Argen-
tine Republic have erected monuments
TO Mr.. Wheelwright's memory in their
public squares. Thomas Lloyd Halsey
of New Jersey, established the first
ranch in the Argentine Republic and
laid the foundation of the wealth of
that nation and Samuel Hale, of Bos-
ton, established the first commission
house in the Republic. Patagonia no

The knights and the Iron Workers.

PITTsBURG, March The recent dis
pute at Mingo between the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
and the Knights of Labor was only the
beginning of general war between the
two great labor organizations. 1t is the
intention of w. II. Bailey, of the Knights
of Labor general executive board, to take
Immediate steps for the formation of
national district assembly of iron and
steel workers, which will have absolute
control of all the affairs OF iron and steel
workers, ilst as National District Assem-
bly, No. 1876, has charge of the miners
affairs. Mr.. Bailey says; This trouble
at Mingo will have good tendency in
our favor Ii will consolidate the Knights
of Labor iron and steel workers and will
bring more of them into our ranks. 1t is
not generally known, but it is neverthe-
less fact, that the Amalgamated Asso
citation has only about one-fourth OF the
craft in their ranks. We have nearly the
same number, and so there remains fully
one-half of the craft unOrganized. We
shall proceed to organize local assemblies
as rapidly as possible, and will soon be
stronger than any other association"

The employees held a meeting last even

Second Ballots in Germany.


BERLIN, March 2.-The vote in to-days
second ballots for the members OF the
Reichstag is very heavy in this city, but
some of the national liberals are not
voting.
The Agricultural Society, at its general
meeting Yesterday resolved to petition
for an Increase in the import duties on
wool and corn but the government is un-
willing to agree to this.
The bourse is flat and undecided
Every one is awaiting tomorrow speech

Two National Liberals Elected.
BERLIN, March 2.-The contest in each
district in to-days second ballot is be-
tween the two candidates who received
the highest number of votes in the origi-
nal polling. Returns have already been
received from Lubbock and Waldenburg
of the result of the balloting in those
places. Both elect National Liberals.
The following are the votes: In Luz

LONDON. March 2.-The reported re-
volt of the garrison in Silistria and the
statement of the Times that the Russo
phile party tried hard to produce the ap-
pearance of disturbances, is in striking
confirmation of yesterdays message. The
story of the revolt given by the Havas
agency is supported by the fact of no tel
egrams being received from Bulgaria.
The bad relations between Russia and
Austria are now being pushed to ex-
tremes. 1t is said that the almost uni
versal opinion is that the danger of an
immediate outbreak has been transferred
from the west to the east of Europe.
Restrictions Not Permissible.
LONDON, March 2.-Sir Henry Holland;
colonial secretary, has sent dispatch to
the Governor Of New Foundland, inform
ing him that the home government does
not feel justified in disregarding the
strong protests of France against restric-
tions at this late period which are calcu-
lated to inhict grave loss upon French
fishermen, and is therefore unable to al
low the bill passed by the New Found
land legislature in relation to the fisher
les to operate this season. The secretary
says the government thoroughly under
stands that the French bounties are a
grave disadvantage to the British fisher
man, still it is not shown that the British
fisheries are unrenumerative.
